[184] "Bhikkhus, these eight dhammas lead to the non-decline of a bhikkhu who is a trainee (sekha). What eight? Not delighting in work (na kammārāmatā), not delighting in talk, not delighting in sleep, not delighting in company, guarding the doors of the sense faculties (indriyesu guttadvāratā), moderation in eating (bhojane mattaññutā), delighting in non-association (asaṃsaggārāmatā), and delighting in non-proliferation (nippapañcārāmatā). These, bhikkhus, are the eight dhammas that lead to the non-decline of a bhikkhu who is a trainee."
